Esther Herron was honored for her years of service at the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council’s October 7th board meeting. President Karleen Hoerr regretfully accepted Ms. Herron’s resignation as Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council’s bookkeeper, a service she has provided the Council for over four years. Washington University representative Jim McLeod presented Ms. Herron with a plaque.

He remarked that her role with the Council began nor ends with her position as bookkeeper. Ms. Herron served on the Council board of directors for fourteen years beginning in 1967.

She served as treasurer for eight of those years.

She also served as secretary/treasurer for 5800 DeGiverville/Westminster block unit for over eight years.

She continues to be a concerned and active leader in the neighborhood. Ms. Herron and her husband of forty-two years, Joe Herron, moved in to their home in the 5800 block of DeGiverville on March 17, 1964. Mr. Herron is retired from civil service.

The Herrons have two children and one grandchild.
